Tree Service in Rancho Cucamonga, CA
Top-Rated Tree Pros in San Bernardino County
Rancho Cucamonga is full of properties with trees that need attention. The city sits right at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains in San Bernardino County. That means hot summers, strong seasonal winds, and a pretty diverse mix of tree species that all come with their own maintenance needs.

Tree Services We Offer in Rancho Cucamonga
We handle the full range of tree care for properties all throughout Rancho Cucamonga. Here is a breakdown of what we do.
Tree Removal in Rancho Cucamonga
Tree removal is the right call to make when a tree is well beyond saving. That could mean the tree is knocked loose by Santa Ana winds, a dead tree drawing pests toward your house, or an invasive species crowding out the healthier growth on your property.
The Melendez Tree Service crew examines the tree to make sure removing it is the right move. We like to exhaust every option before doing so. When moving ahead with removal, we plan the safest approach, bring the right equipment, and haul everything away when the job is done.
Tree Trimming and Pruning
Overgrown trees tend to be an eyesore. But, more importantly, they can be hazards and liabilities. Branches will often push toward power lines, roofs, or your neighbor’s yard. Regular tree trimming keeps that growth under control and gives your yard a cleaner look year-round.
Pruning goes a step further. Tree pruning in Rancho Cucamonga, CA, deals more with the overall health of the tree. It targets crossing, dead, or dying branches that are a drag on a tree’s health. Both services extend the life of your trees and lower the risk of damage during heavy winds and storms.
Stump Grinding
You removed a tree. Now what? All that remains is a stump, but looks can be deceiving. Along with being tough to look at (and lowering curb appeal), stumps are not-so-hidden tripping hazards, and they can actually attract pests that can affect nearby trees and your property as a whole. You don’t want termites, beetles, and other wood-boring insects near your home.
Stump grinding in Rancho Cucamonga, CA, removes it below grade so you can sod over the spot, pour concrete, or simply reclaim the space. It is one of the faster jobs we do. You’ll see how quick of a difference it makes to your yard.
Emergency Tree Services
Rancho Cucamonga sits at the mouth of Cajon Pass, which funnels some of the strongest winds in Southern California straight into the Inland Empire. When those gusts hit, trees fall. The neighborhoods along the foothills feel it most. Alta Loma and Etiwanda sit directly below the San Gabriel Mountains in the city’s Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. The canyons there act like wind tunnels when gusts roll off the mountains.
A tree on your roof, across your driveway, or leaning against a fence is not something you can leave until the weekend, as much as you’d like to. We offer emergency tree services in Rancho Cucamonga, CA, and we work to get to you as quickly as possible when conditions are dangerous.
Commercial Tree Services in Rancho Cucamonga
Rancho Cucamonga has a large commercial footprint. There are distribution centers along Milliken and Etiwanda Avenues, as well as office parks near Haven Avenue and retail corridors around Victoria Gardens. Trees on these commercial properties and HOA-managed communities need consistent care, like trimming and pruning, to stay safe and presentable for the public.
We know you’re busy. That’s why we offer commercial tree services, like scheduled maintenance plans, that fit around your business operations.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does tree removal cost in Rancho Cucamonga?
It’s not a uniform answer, since the price depends so much on things like tree size, where it is, what’s wrong with it, and more. Trees close to structures or power lines take more time and care to bring down safely. We give you free on-site estimates so you have a clear number before any work begins.
Do I need a permit to remove a tree in Rancho Cucamonga?
Probably. Rancho Cucamonga has a Heritage Tree ordinance that protects trees that meet certain size criteria, like those with a trunk diameter of 18 inches or more. If you’re looking to remove a protected tree (like Eucalyptus Windrow Trees), you’ll need a permit from the city before work can begin. We can help you find out if your tree falls under those protections before we schedule anything.
When is the best time to trim trees in the Inland Empire?
Late winter through early spring. Trimming it before the growing season helps it recover quickly. Plus, you’ll be in good shape for summer. But dead or hazardous branches should be removed whenever you spot them. You do not want to wait on those. Call on the Melendez Tree Service crew for more info and to start trimming any problem trees.
